[Hildegard Mccauley]

ThisChicken Shawarma recipe is going to knock your socks off! Just a handful of every day spices makes an incredible Chicken Shawarma marinade that infuses the chicken with exotic Middle Eastern flavours. The smell when this is cooking is insane!

I had some chicken shawarma from the butcher but needed to make extra for company. I followed the recipe exactly (marinating 3 hours). I grilled it, and served with gyro bread, cuke, tomato, red onion, feta, and tzatziki. I will never buy premade again. Thank you!

This was a BIG hit at our Bible study potluck. I adjusted the spices down (except cumin) a bit and added 1/4 tsp cinnamon. I had many requests for the recipe. So I sent them the original recipe and my modifications. Then they can use what works for them. Thank you very much for posting this excellent/authentic recipe.

Like hummus, falafel, and kofta Kebab, shawarma is another popular Middle Eastern street food that has become widely known throughout the world! And the good news is, beef shawarma is easy to make right at home, no special equipment needed.

This famous Middle Eastern street food is basically heavily-marinated meat (or chicken), layered on a vertical rotisserie or spit where it is slow-roasted for days until perfectly tender and extra flavorful! To serve it, thin layers of meat are shaved off the spit and piled up into a warm pita pocket with heaps of fresh toppings and a good drizzle of tahini sauce.

You do not need a special rotisserie or spit to make it at home. In this easy homemade shawarma recipe, you just need a large skillet or cast iron grill pan. And to make sure we get as close as possible to the texture and authentic flavor of beef shawarma, slice up your meat very thinly and toss it in the tantalizing shawarma seasoning with a bit of garlic, onions, lemon juice and olive oil.

Several kinds of meat can be used to make shawarma at home. In this recipe, I used 1 1/2 pounds of beef flap steak, which is a thin, relatively lean steak that is part of the sirloin butt. Depending on where you live, flap steak goes by other names like sirloin tip or bavette. It is not an expensive cut of beef and has just enough fat for flavor.

Flank steak will work here as well, although flap meat has a little bit more marbling which makes it juicer and more tender. If you have the budget and want to splurge for a beef rib eye steak that will work as well.

This easy, healthy homemade chicken shawarma is a huge fan-favorite around here, for good reason! The secret is in the simple shawarma spice mixture, which makes all the difference. My step-by-step tutorial and video show you exactly how to make this delicious chicken! Serve it in pita pockets with tahini sauce and this lazy salad, and call it dinner!

I grew up in Port Said, Egypt, where the streets are filled with small stands and joints selling delicious, super fragrant Middle Eastern foods. Fresh fried falafel. Bowls of Mujadara (lentils and rice) or Koshari. Skewers of Kabobs. And yes, shawarma, both beef and chicken options.

The true Middle Eastern way to serve chicken shawarma is in pita pockets or wraps with heaps of veggies and a good deal of sauce. I like the idea of loaded pita pockets. And for the veggies, peppery arugula and my simple 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad.

This authentic chicken shawarma recipe is a great recipe that the whole family will love. This stove top grilled marinated chicken with homemade shawarma seasoning takes me back to what I grew up eating in my home town Ramallah.

This is a delicious and authentic chicken shawarma recipe and tastes exactly like what I grew up eating. Traditional shawarma is an easy weeknight meal that I often love to eat. You can have it as a wrap over flatbread or as a chicken shawarma rice bowl on a bed of lettuce and rice or some fresh veggies and hummus.

Shawarma is everyday street food in Palestine and has become mainstream food in the US. In my hometown Ramallah, when you walk around town you'll find small places specializing in making shawarma. Another popular street food is Falafel a vegan option.

One very popular place in Ramallah with a very distinctive taste and different than any other shawarma I have ever had. This place is Abu Iskandar it has been there for generations. I have remembered this place since being a little kid. Every time I visit home I love to go there and enjoy a shawarma sandwich.

Shawarma is a well-marinated meat (chicken, beef, or lamb) with a combination of spices layered on a vertical rotisserie or a long-standing skewer where it is slow-roasted until perfectly tender, juicy, and full of flavor which gives it a rich and aromatic flavor.

Once the shawarma meat is cooked, it is shaved off the rotating spit into thin slices and often served on a wrap or pita bread covered with tahini sauce, pickles, and other fresh veggies such as cabbage and red onions mixed with sumac.

Cook this under the broiler for 16 to 18 minutes, flipping the chicken over about halfway through. The chicken will get nice and golden brown. Let it sit and rest for about 10 minutes, then go ahead and slice it into strips. Put it in a big bowl and combine it with all of those delicious onions that have caramelized and softened.

If you want your chicken shawarma like you get it in the shops, you can crisp it up before putting it all together. Heat up a cast iron grill to medium-high heat. After you slice the chicken, put it on the cast iron for about 30 seconds on each side until it gets those crispy bits.

This just came out the oven and its amazingly good. i mean it really is resturant quality. i made it into a warm panini with sauted spinach, spiced chickpeas, onions, and the dip. Loved it so much. Im low carb so i used a low carb wrap

We made this tonight and it was delicious! We used boneless chicken breasts and served as a salad. A combo of coleslaw mix and salad greens with the addition of tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta topped with the yogurt dressing was so good! Will absolutely make again.

It should be as close to the broiler (top heating element) as possible so that the chicken can char and cook properly. If you have a barbecue grill or an air fryer, it would be better to use those instead ? Hope that helps!

My husband and I are Absolutely In Love with your shawarma. We cut the onions thick for the marinade step and then fry them separately to put on top of the finished barbecued chicken. Down right expletive FanTasTic.

In shawarma, the grilled meat is typically shaved and served on a pita or in a wrap. It is a very well-liked dish in the Middle East and has recently gained popularity in North America. For those who want to enjoy the flavour of shawarma without having to spend hours preparing it, this simple chicken shawarma recipe is ideal. The chicken is grilled or roasted until it is juicy and tender after being marinated in a mixture of spices. Then it is shred and placed on warm pita bread with cucumber yoghurt, tahini sauce, and chopped tomatoes.

After a recent trip to Israel, I was on a mission to replicate the street-style chicken shawarma I enjoyed there. It was tender, juicy, full of flavor and tons of fragrant spices. We saw chicken shawarma at pretty much every restaurant we went to. Either in a sandwich served with rice or on a kabob.

Serve this dish as an entree with sides like my Mediterranean quinoa, over some mixed greens as a salad, in a pita with some hummus as a riff on a gyro, or over crispy pita chips with some fresh veggies and tzatziki sauce for Mediterranean-style nachos!

Absolutely! This recipe can easily be made on the grill as full thighs or breasts, or skewered, after marinating of course. Grill until golden brown, and cooked through (about 10-15 minutes). You can also throw some sliced veggies like red onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms into your marinade and grill them, too. (Best for kebabs.)

Serve this chicken in a warm pita with Garlic Sauce, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions for your own homemade gyro! Or serve as an entree over rice or a salad. Hummus, tahini, or Mediterranean salsa also make great toppings for this chicken! You can also make your own Mediterranean-style pizza with this on top!

This is a pretty easy-looking recipe. If I have frozen chicken thighs that I Sous-vide and cook thoroughly, can I put the cooked chicken in the ziploc with all the spices and then instead of cooking just broil it for 2 minutes or just a little less since the chicken will already be cooked?

Really good, love the combination of spices in the marinade, made a great wrap. Would probably work well for making some of the ingredients into a kebab: cubes of chicken, slices of onion and cherry tomatoes.
